There are groups for cat lovers (me), organists and choirmasters (me), iguana lovers (me), Galapagos lovers (me), castles in Europe, organs in Europe. You name it. There are a lot of interest groups. It's up to you to find your niche. But to say that Fb is cancer, sewage, is ridiculous. You haven't taken the time to search out the groups that interest you.
